Tánaiste must publish O’Higgins report without delay – FF

Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Justice Niall Collins TD has called on the Tánaiste Francis Fitzgerald to publish the report carried out by the O’Higgins Commission.

The Commission was established in February 2015 to examine allegations of malpractice in the Cavan / Monaghan Division of the Garda Síochána.

Deputy Collins said, “It’s now a fortnight since the Minister for Justice received the report and while it has been substantially leaked, it remains to be published.

“It’s not good enough that the contents of such an important report are leading news bulletins while elected representatives have yet to see it.

“I would urge the Minister to publish the report as soon as possible. I also believe that the Oireachtas Justice Committee, and indeed the Dáil in general will need to debate the report at the earliest opportunity.”

Hey Micheal Martin, whats this rubbish about you defending 180 Garda statements that didn't hold up in Court.. What strokes you trying to pulling in saving this broken institutions face.
A) Disband it, its too steeped in civil war politics.
B) Establish a new force with a separate investigative wing.
C) As the Police are a seperate institution to politics then make the new Commissioner an electable position to ensure public confidence instead of 'political' confidence (other countries do it)
